I am just apathetic towards relationships right now....and I like it. I meet quality dudes on a somewhat regular basis, especially since my best friends are dudes and have nice guy friends....but I guess I'm just not trying right now.

I loved my ex girlfriend very much, but our relationship ran into a very hard and difficult time in her life, lots of transition and not knowing what she was going to do after graduation. She also lived across the country. I planned on moving out with her, but that scared her. I also didn't treat her as well as I could've. We were together from 19-22, and we all know those years are....weird. And immature.

Cliche as it sounds, communication makes things work. If you're pissed off talk about it. If you're annoyed, talk about it. But also pick your battles and weigh out which is more important, potentially hurting feelings, or addressing the issue if it's something you can/cannot overlook. You can't let things that bother you fester until you blow up. We have been together for just under a year and have not had a single fight. I know we will at some point, but I'm kinda curious to see what thats going to be like. Also, love the person for who they are, not who you think they have the potential to be. People don't change, they may compromise, but they don't change.

on another note. I think Valentines day is stupid. I'd be waaaaaay more excited to receive flowers at work, or be taken out on a nice romantic date when it was for no reason other than that he wanted to. Best thing about valentines day for me this year, is I have the day off, and will be spending it with him up in New York before he moves down to Baltimore. I'm hoping we can go to the zoo.
